cmsplugin_contact_plus 1.1.11

A django CMS plugin to dynamically create contact forms.

# About cmsplugin_contact_plus
[cmsplugin_contact_plus](https://github.com/arteria/cmsplugin-contact-plus/) lets your build forms for your django CMS project
with exactly the fields you want in the order you want with a minimal effort.
Beside the regular input fields, there are "auto" fields, for example to submit the referral page or additional, hidden values.
The form will be submitted to a per form defined email address. This allows to cover a lot of
use cases with a single and simple cmsplugin.

- Hidden "referral page" field. Reads referral from request.
- Generic Hidden fields. Use this in combination with JavaScript/jQuery to attach additional data to the form sent by email.
For exmple, the field lable for the 'CharField as HiddenInput' is named to "Object description".
Using the lable name, the ID for the input field will be 'id_object-description', the name 'object-description'.
Store data is dead easy using jQuery.
$('#id_object-description').val('Hello Hidden World'); // The string 'Hello Hidden World' will be send by email as well.
